22. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.
Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
-5-
Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders
1. Be aware of belt or disc rotation when sanding. Always brace workpiece against the rotation of the
sanding belt. Always sand on the side of the disc that is rotating downward, towards the work table.
2. Keep fingertips away from the moving belt or disc.
3. Never use excessive force when sanding. Doing this greatly increases the chances of personal injury
and motor overload.
4. Always feed the work against the direction of rotation.
5. Even if you have a reliable method of dust collection, use a dust mask or respirator when sanding,
as well as eye and ear protection.
6. If there is any doubt as to the stability or integrity of the material to be sanded, do not sand it.
7. Do not operate sander with a damaged or badly worn disc or belt.
8. Habits — good or bad — are hard to break. Develop good habits and safety will become second
nature to you.
9. Sanding dust from some woods may be toxic or cause an allergic reaction. Be sure to wear an
appropriate respirator when working around saw dust. Make sure there is adequate ventilation or a
constant source of fresh air. The saw dust from some species of wood can be toxic to some people.
Be sure to research the dangers of the specific species of wood you are working with.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to follow guidelines could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
Read the manual before
assembly and operation.
Become familiar with
the machine and its
operation before beginning any work. Serious
personal injury may
result if safety or operational information is not
understood or followed.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged
plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
The Shop Fox® W1676 is prewired for 110 volts.
The motor supplied with your new machine is
rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 14
amps. When choosing an outlet for this machine,
consider using one with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used
by other machines or tools at the same time will
add to the electrical load being applied to the
circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines
on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating
of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different
circuit.
Extension Cords
When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:
•Use cords rated for Hard Service (Grade S)
•Never exceed a length of 100 feet
•Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger
(12 ga., 10 ga., etc.)
•Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin
•Do not use cords in need of repair
Figure 1. Never remove grounding pin.
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1A.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1676
comes with a grounding pin. Do not remove it.
If your outlet does not accommodate a ground
pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician
or have an appropriate adapter installed. Please
note: when using an adapter, the adapter must
be grounded.
An adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee machine will be grounded. Ground source
must be verified.
Figure 1A. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and outlet.
-7-
220V Operation
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged
plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
The Shop Fox® W1676 can also be operated at
220 volts. To do this, consult with the wiring
diagram in the back of this manual for rewiring
instructions. Also, you will need a NEMA-style 615 plug and outlet.
The motor supplied with your new machine is
rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 7
amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing
an outlet for this machine, consider using one
with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in
mind that a circuit being used by other machines
or tools at the same time will add to the total
load being applied to the circuit. Add up the
load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this
number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your machinery and installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords. If you
must use an extension cord, make sure it is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. The
extension cord must always contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn or
damaged.
Figure 2. NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet.
NOTICE
Grounding
Never replace the circuit breaker with one
rated at a higher amperage or damage to the
circuit may occur.
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 2.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1676
does not come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug
with a ground pin. If your outlet does not
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by
a qualified electrician or have an appropriate
adapter installed and grounded properly. An
adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee machine will be grounded. Ground source
must be verified.

flash points which make
them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if these
products are used.
Serious personal injury
may occur if this warning
is ignored.
The exposed, unpainted surfaces of the machine
have been coated with an oil to prevent rust
during shipment. This oil needs to be removed
before operation. To remove the oil, we recommend using a solvent based degreaser. Avoid
using any chlorine based solutions because they
will damage the painted surfaces. Always follow
the instructions of the product being used.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingested.
Always work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources
when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and
towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.

The Model W1676 is capable of a wide variety of
sanding operations. The sanding belt can be
positioned in a variety of angles ranging from 090° and can accommodate the working table in
the vertical position. The sanding disc can
accommodate the working table at a variety of
angles ranging from 0-45°. In all, the Model
W1676 will be a welcome addition to the home
or commercial workshop. The following section
will go through the above adjustment steps.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustments process. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
-17-
Belt Tracking/Tension
NOTICE
It is best to adjust the tracking of the sanding
belt before making any tension adjustments.
If you have trouble maintaining proper tracking after several attempts, you may need to
adjust the belt tension. Improper tension can
often times be the cause of tracking problems.
Belt tension and tracking are crucial to the performance of the belt sander. Too much tension
will cause undue stress on the bearings and
other parts. Too little tension will cause the
sanding belt to not track properly and fall off
the sanding belt frame. It is better to have the
least amount of tension required to make the
belt track properly while under load.
Figure 18. Installing the sanding belt.
To adjust the tracking:
1. Unplug the combination sander!
2. Unlock the quick release lever on the side of
the sanding unit by shifting it to the left.
3. Slide a 6" x 48" sanding belt onto the belt
sanding frame as shown in Figure 18.
4. Shift the quick release lever to the right to
tension the sanding belt.
Figure 19. Knob for adjusting tracking.
5. To check the tracking, plug in and quickly
turn the sander on and off, and watch the
path of the belt. If it moves to either side,
the tracking needs to be adjusted.
Always install belt according to the arrow
direction on the inside of the belt. Belts
installed incorrectly can fall apart, causing
serious personal injury.
6. Turn the tracking knob 1⁄4 turn clockwise to
adjust the sanding belt towards the tracking
knob, and turn counter-clockwise to adjust
the sanding belt away from the tracking
knob as shown in Figure 19.
7. Quickly turn the machine on and off again to
see if the tracking has improved. If not,
repeat the above steps.
8. If the tracking is fairly well maintained,
leave the machine running and fine tune the
sanding belt by further adjusting the tracking knob.
-18-
Belt Tracking/Tension
Continued
Gauging proper belt tension is very subjective.
The easiest way to check the tension is to pluck
the edge of the sanding belt. If it sounds like a
drum, the tension is probably too tight.
To adjust the tension:
1. With the belt installed and the quick release
lever engaged, loosen the hex bolt located
at the pivoting point of the rocker arm as
shown in Figure 20. Do not remove the bolt.
Figure 20. Loosening rocker arm bolt.
(Belt Removed For Clarity)
2. Using an adjustable wrench as shown in
Figure 21, rotate the large eccentric bolt
head to either increase or decrease the belt
tension.
3. When the proper tension is achieved, tighten the hex bolt that was loosened in Step 1,
while maintaining the position of the eccentric bolt with a wrench.
4. Run the sander again to check and adjust the
tracking.
5. Using a scrap piece of wood, aggressively
sand on the belt to see if proper tracking is
maintained. If not, repeat the tracking
adjustment steps on the previous page.
Figure 21. Loosening eccentric bolt head.
(Belt Removed For Clarity)
Idler Guard
Once the belt tension and tracking are properly
set, install the idler guard as shown in Figure
22. Tighten the lock down knobs on each side.
Figure 22. Installing idler guard.
-19-
Vertical Positioning
The belt sander arm can be moved to a vertical
arrangement.
1. Remove the belt dust port.
2. Loosen the two nuts located on the bracket
behind the pulley cover as shown in Figure
23. We recommend using a 12mm open-end
wrench for clearance purposes.
3. When the nuts are loose, rotate the sanding
belt frame to the vertical position as shown
in Figure 24.
Figure 23. Vertical positioning bolts.
4. Tighten down the nuts that were loosened in
Step 2.
The working table can also be repositioned next
to the vertical surface of the sanding belt.
Remove the working table assembly and support
bar from the sander base, and reposition it in
the mounting hole behind the motor as shown in
Figure 25.

Changing Abrasive Disc
To replace abrasive sanding disc:
1. Remove the working table assembly.
2. Remove the knob holding the pulley cover
door shut and open the door as shown in
Figure 26.
3. Remove the worn sanding disc and the new
sanding disc. Be sure to center the new sanding disc over the cast iron disc before pressing it down as shown in Figure 27.
Figure 26. Opening pulley door.
4. Another option allows you to leave the pulley cover and working table attached. Peel
back half of the abrasive disc backing and
slip the covered portion behind the closed
pulley door. Stick the peeled back portion of
the abrasive disc to the top half of the sanding wheel. Carefully rotate the disc 180°.
Peel back the second half of the abrasive
backing and stick the remaining portion to
the sanding disc as shown in Figure 28. Press
then entire disc on to ensure good adhesion.

Table Tilt
To adjust the working table angle:
1. Set the working table angle to the 90° mark
on the scale.
2. Using a 90° square, adjust the working table
so it is perpendicular to the sanding disc as
shown in Figure 29.
3. Loosen the screw holding the angle indicator
and set it to the 90° mark on the scale.
Figure 29. Checking table alignment.
4. Using a 90° square, check to see if the miter
slot is perpendicular to the sanding disc as
shown in Figure 30.
5. To adjust, loosen the three screws shown in
Figure 31. Wiggle the table until the miter
slot is parallel to the sanding disc and tighten the adjustment screws.
Make sure the gap between the working
table edge and the sanding disc is no larger
than 1⁄8". Your fingers could get caught in
the gap, causing serious personal injury.

OPERATIONS
!
Testing
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Once assembly is complete and adjustments
have been made, the machine is ready for a test
run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any
unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to confirm the machine is performing as intended.
1. Turn the machine on by pulling the START
paddle on the power switch. Be sure to have
your finger poised to push the paddle in if
there is a problem.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
2. Once the machine is running, listen for any
unusual noises. The machine should run
smoothly with little or no vibrations.
3. If there are any unusual noises or vibrations,
shut the machine off immediately. The
machine should not be run any further until
the problems are corrected.
Wear safety glasses during the entire operations
process. Failure to comply may result in serious
personal injury.
4. Unplug the machine and investigate the
source of the noise or vibration. Do not make
any adjustments to the machine while it is
plugged in.
Always wear a dust
mask when operating
the W1676. Using this
machine produces sawdust which may cause
allergic reactions or
respiratory problems.
-23-
Horizontal Sanding
1. Turn the power on and allow the sander to
reach full speed.
2. Place the workpiece against the surface of
the sanding belt. Make sure you have both
hands securely on the workpiece and keep
fingers and hands away from sanding surface
as shown in Figure 32.
3. Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece
from being propelled off of the sander.
4. If the workpiece is long, you may want to
remove the back stop from the sander. Take
care to hold the workpiece securely when the
back stop is removed as shown in Figure 33.
Figure 32. Sanding with back stop.
Curved Sanding
Concave curves can be sanded on the idler
roller.
1. Remove the idler roller guard from the
sander.
2. Hold the workpiece against the idler roller,
slowly moving the workpiece back and forth
to prevent heat build up as shown in Figure
34.
Figure 33. Sanding without back stop.
3. The smallest concave curve that can be
sanded is equal to the radius (13⁄4") of the
idler roller.
Keep fingers and clothing
away from the sanding
back stop. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Figure 34. Curved sanding on idler roller.
-24-
Disc Sanding
The disc is best used for sanding end grain and
convex curves.
1. Set the working table to the desired angle.
2. Always use the left half of the disc. (The
half that is rotating downward.)
3. Set the miter gauge at 90° to keep the workpiece perpendicular to the sanding disc as
shown in Figure 35.
4. Varying angles can be sanded by adjusting
the miter gauge to the desired setting as
shown in Figure 36.
Figure 35. Sanding end grain.
5. When the table is set at an angle, the gap
between the disc and the table becomes
greater (Figure 37); therefore, use extra
care to prevent small pieces and fingers
from becoming lodged in the gap.
Only use the left half of the sanding disc
when performing sanding operations. The
right half of the disc is rotating in an
upward direction and if used could cause
the workpiece to be propelled into the air.
Serious injury could occur.
Figure 36. Using miter gauge to sand angles.
Keep fingers and clothing
away from the sanding
disc. Failure to comply
may result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
General
!
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1676 will ensure its optimum performance.
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time
you use it. Check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary.
1.
Loose mounting bolts.
2.
Worn switch.
3.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.
Damaged sanding belts or discs.
5.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Table And Base
Wear safety glasses during the entire maintenance process. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like Boeshield® T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the
machine clean.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could lose
their freedom of movement as a result.
